Will I be losing out in the long run if I disabled Apple Intelligence or downgraded to MacOS Sonoma?

Hello, the question I'm about to ask is a little loaded. I have an M3 MacBook Air that runs MacOS Sequoia. I've turned off Apple Intelligence as I still aren't that familiar with it and heard that it requires a lot of RAM. My computer has 8GB of RAM. In the long run, I guess it's possible that more and more Apple Intelligence features will be introduced and I'm uncertain as to whether or not my computer will be able to handle it.

If I were to continue without enabling Apple Intelligence or downgraded to MacOS Sonoma, would I be losing out in the long run? Would artificial intelligence programmes in general be able to run on MacOS Sonoma, or will the notion of artificial intelligence be out of the window with MacOS Sonoma? Am I overall better off staying with MacOS Sequoia? Please pardon the loaded nature of my question. I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on all this, please.
